Nick is right about the mountain. It might take serious local knowledge—or a look a popular hiking routes—to guess the pass.

I'm far from sure of this, but could it be Spider Gap? Never been there, but it looks like a awesome route.

I would go with Nick's guess, but I'm still trying to locate Buck Creek Pass. But it's all a stab in the dark with my crampons and most likely Disappointment Pass one way or the other.

Reminds me of Polecat Creek but looks like it boils.

I’m guessing we’re in Yellowstone, but I don’t know the geography well enough to name rivers.

Well, if it looks hot, maybe it's called something like Firehole...

Correct again. You are up. It's a pretty fun place to do some backcountry skiing.
